Ford Escape The Ford Escape has been thoroughly updated, reinforcing the character and appeal that have made it America's perennial best-selling small sport-utility vehicle. The improvements nearly cover the spectrum, and inject a new level of refinement. We'd call the Escape a little truck among small SUVs. Its new styling deliberately invokes Ford's larger, truck-based SUVs.

Have you checked for iron debris sticking to the ABS sensors or sensor wires with bad insulation?

Default found it! thanks Bob!

It was a broken toner ring, dr. side, what a shame to waste a perfectly good axle shaft, cause of a .25 cent part. This situation is dangerous, The very design that is supposed to save lives, can cause a serious wreck. Can we blame China? somehow?

You don't need to replace the axle, you do need to remove it and have a new reluctor ring pressed on tho. Call your local machine shop and ask if they'll do it, it shouldn't cost too much. The ring should be around or less than $30.
